This childhood favorite was just as good today as it was the first time we watched it 15 years ago. (And now we feel old.)
Everyone knows the story of Toy Story so there is no need to go into the plot line, however, it is, in our opinion, one of the Disney movies with the best theme: friendship.
Of course the movie first became noteworthy because of its digital animations, which were new in the early to mid 1990s. Yet, we will say that one of our favorite aspects of the movie is its selection of songs. We don't know if they were written specifically for the movie or not, but they fit absolutely perfectly with the story line and are among the most catchy tunes in a movie soundtrack. The one that particularly comes to mind (the one we were singing before the movie even started) is "You've Got a Friend In Me."
The last thing that we particularly liked about the movie is how it captures the toys of our generation. What kid did not have a Mr. Potato Head, or a Slinky; Etch-a-Sketch was a highly sought after toy in the playroom. As we think back on the movie (and look to the picture above) even more of common toys come to mind: pink haired trolls, army men, and don't forget Battleship. These toys will never be forgotten due to their appearance in this classic tale.
